Press Release Summary = TEC helps organizations select the best business
intelligence and business performance management software systems for their specific
requirements.

Press Release Body = Montreal, QC, July 11, 2007 -- Software evaluation firm
Technology Evaluation Centers Inc. (TEC) today launches its new Business
Intelligence (BI) and Business Performance Management (BPM) Evaluation Centers to
help companies select the software solutions they need to optimize their performance
and to stay competitive within their markets.

These newest evaluation centers from TEC feature research on prominent vendors in BI
and BPM, and allow users to evaluate solutions based on 2,000 criteria (features and
functions) tailored to their specific business needs.

From identifying trends and setting metrics to monitor performance, to identifying
how organizations stack up against their competitors, companies can use BI and BPM
to capture timely information, and then use that information to help drive
organizational performance.

\"Now that business intelligence and data warehousing are mature technologies,
companies have accepted that they must have these tools in place to stay
competitive. The payoff is better strategic alignment within the organization\", says
Mary Jo Nott, editor in chief at DM Review.

Enterprise software solutions often fail because requirements for such complex
systems weren\'t properly defined at the outset. Before approaching system vendors,
it\'s recommended that buyers compare solutions using resources from an impartial
evaluator like TEC. Using TEC\'s services during the critical selection process can
save time, money, and staffing resources.
